Stranded in Babylon
''Stranded in Babylon'' is an album recorded by Larry Norman in Norway in 1991. It was re-released in 1993 as ''Stranded in Babylon: The American Re-Mix''.〔(''Stranded In Babylon: The American Re-Mix'' at Allmusic ).〕 The album comprises 13 new songs written by Larry and represents some of his best work since the early days of his career. Larry and his brother Charly play all of the instruments, but the sound is full and well-produced.〔
==History==
The creative rush that followed Norman's healing was expressed on ''Stranded In Babylon'' which saw him collaborate with his younger brother Charles "Charly" Norman.〔"Larry Norman - 1947-2008", ''Cross Rhythms'' (26 February 2008), http://www.crossrhythms.co.uk/articles/news/Larry_Norman__19472008/30703/p1/〕 After four months in the recording studio in Sweden,〔"Something New: Stranded in Babylon", ''Solid Rock/Phydeaux Newsletter'' (1992):2.〕 and overdubbing in Norway by the Albino Brothers (Norman and his brother, Charly), in 1991 Norman released through Spark Music the European version of ''Stranded in Babylon'', an album which was recorded in Sweden in 1988.〔Robert Termorshuizen, "Stranded In Babylon (1991)", http://www.meetjesushere.com/stranded_in_babylon.htm〕 Hailed by both critics and fans as one of his best albums,〔See, for example, Jevon, "Stranded in Babylon", (18 November 2000), http://www.banophernalia.com/reviews/music/artists_norman.htm#larry1999〕 it was praised as "a superb new album which sees a return to the form he showed to full effect on those classics like 'Only Visiting This Planet' and 'So Long Ago The Garden' back in the mid seventies" with 13 new "songs () are cleverly arranged and produced, with plenty of pertinent lyrical imagery and the sly wit of yore amongst the electric guitar solos and breezy (sampled?) saxophones"〔Rupert Loydell, "Larry Norman - Stranded In Babylon", ''CR Mag'' 11 (1 July 1992), http://www.crossrhythms.co.uk/products/Larry_Norman/Stranded_In_Babylon/5267/〕 by Norman and his brother, Charly, who share all of the musical duties. ''Stranded in Babylon'' was named Album of the Year by Christian rock journals.〔"The Classic Larry Norman CD Releases", page 2, http://www.larrynorman.uk.com/store2.htm〕 ''Stranded in Babylon'' was conceived as the second album in a projected Second Trilogy〔Robert Termorshuizen, "The Best Of The Second Trilogy (1988)", http://www.meetjesushere.com/Best_Of_Second.htm. However, on the "Stranded In Babylon" CD there are no songs of "The Best Of The Second Trilogy".〕 that was planned to include (in order) a still unreleased ''Behind the Curtain'',〔Norman's 2001 album ''Tourniquet'' was released with several songs off ''Behind the Curtain''.〕 and the previously released ''Home at Last''. Included on this album is "God Part III",〔For lyrics, see "God Part III", http://www.onlyvisiting.com/gallery/lyrics/songs/godIII/godIII.html. This song contains references to the Beatles, including their song "Revolution".〕 which draws on John Lennon's "God" and the U2 riposte ("God II");〔Rupert Loydell, "Larry Norman - Stranded In Babylon", ''CR Mag'' 11 (1 July 1992), http://www.crossrhythms.co.uk/products/Larry_Norman/Stranded_In_Babylon/5267/ For a discussion of "God Part II", see Jonas Steverud, "Rattle And Hum: God Part II", http://www.muorji.se/U2MoL/RAH/godpartii.html〕 "Come Away",〔For lyrics, see "Come Away", http://www.onlyvisiting.com/gallery/lyrics/songs/come/come.html〕 written about his 1973 meeting on the streets of Shepherd's Bush with prostitute Holly Valentine, who later became a Christian;〔"Larry in the UK", http://www.larrynorman.uk.com/inuk.htm; Rupert Loydell, "Larry Norman - Stranded In Babylon", ''CR Mag'' 11 (1 July 1992), http://www.crossrhythms.co.uk/products/Larry_Norman/Stranded_In_Babylon/5267/〕 and the autobiographical "Under The Eye", "which tells how Larry has, despite the last decade, always been watched and cared for".〔 "Under the Eye" references "all the trouble and strife/And the things which went wrong and lasted so long", and "The mystery of love, the push and the shove/ Of friendship betrayed, of plans I mislaid,/ The oceans I crossed, the things that I lost/ And the world in my hand as dreams turned to sand", including his 1978 plane accident and his subsequent brain damage: "I crashed in a plane, I really damaged my brain/ And then I layed in my bed with all this music in my head./ The years have rolled by, I've watched the past die/ But feelings remained like mercy much strained./ Like a seed left unsown, like a leaf that was blown/Like a man who was blind, there was a lock on my mind", but also his 1991 healing: "Then a man came to me and he held out the key/ And the lock hinge was blown, I had never been alone".〔For these lyrics, see "Under the Eye", http://www.onlyvisiting.com/gallery/lyrics/songs/under/under.html〕 Norman's February 1992 heart attack delayed the release of the US version of this album until 1994.〔(Ayers ), PHYDEAUX NEWSLETTER #1 in 1995, http://www.onlyvisiting.com/distributors/phydeaux/newsletters/phydeaux_1.html〕
